FAQs for Sprowston
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Shower tray repair at your home in Sprowston
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Sprowston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we’re called out for in Sprowston
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking

- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Sprowston
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place.

Why book with us

- We leave the room as we found it

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sprowston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sprowston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
